Nelson, l:xecutivc Director r SENIOR LIVING SHOWCASE M11R0 E6100 Published Friday, August 6, 1999 Robbinsdale schools superintendent retires Q Mary Jane Smetanka / Star Tribune sfmhi>tme.cam Moro Robbinsdale public schools Superintendent Thomas Bollin is retiring effective today. Bollin has headed the district of 13,500 students for five years. He told school board members this week that he wanted to retire for personal reasons. "All I know is it's a personal decision, and we respect his decision," Steve McLaird, board chairman, said Thursday. "We have not asked for his resignation." McLaird described Bollin, 58, as "a very creative and experienced individual, and an asset to any organization." Bollin wasn't at work Thursday and couldn't be reached for comment. In a statement released by the district, he said he retired to pursue other opportunities. The board will meet Tuesday to accept Bollin's retirement formally and to name Ken Kostka, the district's senior associate for human resources, as acting superintendent for the next month or two. The board will search for an interim superintendent to serve for the 1999-2000 school year and begin the search for a permanent superintendent later in the school year. Bollin's annual salary was $114,000 a year. His contract obligates the district to give him severance of 20 days' pay for each of his five years of service, McLaird said. Bollin joined the district in January 1995. He previously was superintendent in Lorain, Ohio, and held administrative positions in the Toledo public schools. — Mary Jane Smetanka can be reached by e-mail at smetaK&startr[bune.com or at 612-673-7380. a copyright 1999 Star Tribune.

A recent review of our files shows that we have not received excavation reports or remedial investigation/corrective action design (RI/CAD) reports within the time frame outlined in our August 19, 1998, letters to you. We have received notification that you had petroleum contaminated soil from each of the sites thermally treated at C.S. McCrossan, Inc. However, it is necessary for you to follow up with the appropriate type of report, depending on the site circumstances. Please refer to MPCA fact sheets for information regarding the scope of investigations required at petroleum release sites. MPCA staff requires that the site investigation fully define the extent and magnitude of soil and ground water contamination caused by the release. Please submit the necessary reports or respond in writing to indicate your intentions for further action at this site. If your response is not received by the MPCA within 30 days after receipt of this letter, MPCA staff will assume you do not intend to comply with this request. In this event, the MPCA Commissioner may order you to take corrective action at the sites. If you do not comply with the Commissioner's order, it may be enforced in court or alternatively, the MPCA could spend its own money cleaning up the releases and then seek to recover its costs from you through legal action. Other possible courses of action against responsible parties who refuse to cooperate with this agency include, but are not limited to, a reduction to future Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Account reimbursements to which you might otherwise be entitled, and substantial civil penalties for failure to comply. 520 Lafayette Rd.

SC99-12 CAMAS, Maple Grove. Approval of a stormwater management plan for construction of a 88.4 acre single and multi -family residential development on an undeveloped site located north of Weaver Lake Road, 1,000 feet east of Norwood Lane. The site will contain two very large regional ponds. A complete project review application was received April 23, 1999. Site drainage will be collected in a series of ponds identified in the City's local plan as SC45, SC46 and SC47. Pond SC47 was reviewed under project review SC99-07. It appears SC46 will be eliminated under this project. The Maple Lakes utilities and street improvement report cites 100 -year flood elevations which differ from those in the local plan and the grading plan. Minimum lowest floors around pond SC P45 are currently proposed at elevations satisfying the Commission's one -foot freeboard requirements when compared to highest predicted 100 year flood elevation of 899.0. NWI maps show several small wetlands within the site. The City is the WCA LGU. A limited erosion control plan has been received. Motion by Butcher, second by Larson directing the consultant to notify the City of Maple Grove that approval of project SC99-12 is hereby granted pending receipt in the office of the Commission's engineer of the following: 1. Revised hydrologic model for Maple Grove subareas 45, 46, 47 and downstream reaches demonstrating effects of the Maple Lakes utility and street improvements and this project and project SC99-07, Boulder Ponds. 2. Outlet control structure (skimmer) details for both stormwater ponds. 3. A revised Erosion Control Plan specifying riprap at all storm sewer outfalls and temporary sediment barriers at catchbasin inlets for use during construction. 4. An Operation and Maintenance Plan which will maintain the outlet control structures and permanent pool in the storrnwater treatment ponds. The plan shall be provided to the City in the form of a recordable agreement that assures the designated operation and maintenance procedures will be faithfully executed. Motion carried. B. SC99-13 Monticello Addition, Maple Grove. Approval of a stormwater management plan for construction of a street extension and 24ot commercial facility on a 7.6 acre site located south of 85th avenue at Monticello Lane. The proposed project involves construction of a cul-de-sac extension of Monticello Lane and, south of 85th Avenue, a 24ot commercial facility, along with associated drainage improvements. It is unclear if complete development is to occur at this time or just street and utility construction. A complete project review application has not yet been received. The entire site will drain southeast through storm sewer into the City of Brooklyn Park. BROOKLYN CENTER • BROOKLYN PARK • CRYSTAL • MAPLE GROVE 9 MINNEAPOLIS • NEW HOPE 9 OSSEO • PLYMOUTH • ROBBINSDALE Minutes June 10, 1999 page 3 No on-site ponding has been specified for treatment or control of stormwater runoff. There are no wetlands on site. The City of Maple Grove is the WCA LGU There is no floodplain on site and no erosion _ control plan has been received. The consultant recommended no action pending receipt of the following: 1. Revised grading plan incorporation of on-site NURP pond for control/treatment of stormwater discharges. 2. Hydrologic calculations supporting design of on-site NURP pond. 3. An Erosion Control Plan. 4. A revised plat identifying easements over on-site ponding areas. 5. An Operation and Maintenance Plan which will maintain the outlet control structures and permanent pool in the stormwater treatment ponds. The plan shall be provided to the City in the form of a recordable agreement that assures the designated operation and maintenance procedures will be faithfully executed. This project will be considered at the Commission's July 8 meeting. C. SC99-14 Cleveland K -S School, Minneapolis. Approval of a stormwater management plan for construction of an elementary school on an eight acre parcel located in the southeast quadrant of Queen Avenue and 23rd Avenue North. The proposed project involves construction of a new elementary school on a site bounded by 33rd Avenue North on the south, 34th Avenue North on the north, Penn Avenue North on the east and the alley west of Queen Avenue on the west. The existing streets, alleys and residences will be removed to create this school site. A complete project review application was received June 7, 1999. Stormwater runoff from roof areas and grass surfaces will discharge via the existing storm sewer at 34th Avenue, ultimately draining west to Crystal Lake. Stormwater runoff from street and parking areas will be routed to an on-site stormwater pond. The pond has been designed to drain dry between storm events to minimize the amount of time there is standing water in the pond since it poses as hazard to a children's play area The pond will drain via infiltration through a network of underground 4" drain tiles. The Commission's Engineer calculated drain times for various storm events. It was determined tat, hto ensure an ability to treat 100•/0 of a 2.5" rainfall (NURP design), the invert of the outlet control orifice must be raised to 899.20 (+0.2 feet over proposed). With this small change, the pond will satisfy the Commission's design standards and not adversely affect the 100 year flood elevation. The 100 - year flood elevation in the pond is 900.3; the lowest proposed school floor elevation is 907.0, satisfying the Commission's one -foot freeboard requirements. There are no wetlands on site. The City is the WCA LGU A very detailed erosion control plan satisfying the Commission's requirements has been received.

MEETING MINUTES The minutes for the May 26, 1999 meeting were approved as written. II. RIDERSHIP INFORMATION AND REVIEW OF RIDERSHIP STATISTICS FOR MAY 1999 Bentley distributed ridership statistics to the committee members and reported that ridership is at an all time high. There are approximately 2,000 more riders per month through May than in 1998, the previous record year. Route 92 ridership has gone ahead of the previous year's total. Dial -A -Ride is at capacity and will not experience significant ridership gains until more buses are added. III. STATUS REPORT ON PLYMOUTH FLYER SERVICE (JIM BALDWIN) The ridership on the Plymouth Flyer has not increased as anticipated. The scheduling system will be changed in hopes of attracting more riders. Riders will be able to call up to the day before with some same day rides rather than making a reservation three to five days in advance. Sweeney will set up a meeting with the advisory committee to obtain input on ways to utilize the Plymouth Flyer. MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT June 23, 1999 Page 2 IV. IDENTIFICATION OF AREAS OF CONCERN AND/OR RECOMMENDATIONS Barb Roberts' Comments • Roberts is the first one on the bus at 3`d and Marquette and has noticed that the bus comes right at 4:40 p.m. and thought that it should be at Washington at that time. She asked if there had been any complaints of anyone missing a 4:40 bus. Sheri Gingerich's Comments • In response to a Mike Cagley comment at the May 26 meeting, Gingerich stated that the placards in the buses are current. The placards are current even though they still have the old logo. • Gingerich reported that two of the 2000 Series buses have been painted. The newly painted buses are all white with the Plymouth logo on them. John Sweeney's Comments • Sweeney asked Baldwin if there was a problem with the phone system for Dial -A - Ride on June 22, 1999. Baldwin reported that they were extremely busy on all services with a lot of people calling for rides. In the near future, Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. will be installing a new phone system. George Bentley's Comments • Bentley stated there is a commitment from the Metropolitan Council staff to support the use of regional dollars to replace the small bus fleet. Our current buses will replace those being used by the Metropolitan Council for their Be -line and other services and we will receive new buses. V. STATUS REPORT RE: RIDERSHIP ANALYSIS PERTAINING TO LATER SERVICE HOURS ON ROUTES 91 AND 93 The total ridership numbers for Route 91 and the total for Route 93 are significant, showing increases of over 10.5% for Route 91 and over 8.5% for the Route 93. This increase is likely related to the addition of the Vs. A recommendation to the City Council will be made requesting that the L's be continued. This action will cause property taxes to increase slightly as they become partially unfeathered. VI. OTHER COMMENTS DATEMKPACT 6 21doc MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT June 23, 1999 Page 3 • Gingerich commented on an annual recognition program sponsored by the City of Maple Grove for their bus drivers. The riders nominate Drivers of the Year who are then recognized in front of the City Council. Gingerich stated that the program had a very positive affect in Maple Grove and suggested that Plymouth Metrolink consider developing a similar program. • Bentley stated that there will be no regular route bus service on July 5t' and a notice will be going out on the buses. • Gingerich stated that a decision has been made by Metro Transit to run a holiday schedule on December 24, 1999. • Sweeney stated that Plymouth Metrolink is moving ahead with the new park and ride lots and the neighborhood bus stops. Sweeney reported that construction on the ramp meter bypass at Hwy. 101 and I-394 will begin on June 24, 1999 and will be completed by Fall. This project will cost $750,000 and will coincide very well with the new bus service in southwestern Plymouth proposed to start in the Fall. • Councilmember Harstad attended a recent STA meeting with John Sweeney and reported that originally 52 million dollars was asked for from regional bonding and 36 million dollars was approved. The opt -out's will receive all funds they asked for. Bentley stated that the Access to Jobs funding for second and third shift service in conjunction with Pillsbury Neighborhood Services in North Minneapolis has been approved. This will be a special service running out Hwy. 55 also servicing Golden Valley and New Hope. Further information is needed from the federal government regarding the availability of the funds before plans for the new service can be made. • Councilmember Harstad stated that the local levy issue was on the consent agenda on June 22, 1999. Again, the City of Plymouth will not be participating in the local levy. The next PACT meeting will be held on July 28, 1999 at 7:00 p.m. in the Engineering Conference Room (Hadley Lake Room) on the lower level of the Plymouth City Hall.

CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. in the Medicine Lake Room. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion was made by Commissioner Musliner, seconded by Commissioner Willegalle to approve the minutes of the June meeting. The motion carried with all ayes. 3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS a. Athletic Associations. None were present at this meeting. b. Staff. Mary mentioned the new formatting for the recreation brochure and that it will be out in August. It will be called Plymouth Leisure Times. She distributed flyers for the History Fest which is set for August 14 at Parkers Lake Park. Many activities are planned. Mary mentioned that there are lifeguard shortages all over the country. Willegalle asked about our program to train lifeguards. Mary explained that we reimburse them for their training if they take a job with us. Out East they're paying lifeguards $14 per hour in order to attract them. We have lots of competition for our guards. East beach is unguarded this summer due to a shortage of staff. We may have to go to more unguarded beaches in the future if the shortage continues. There has been some discussion on whether we should discontinue providing lifeguards at the Wayzata beach in order to adequately staff our beaches, but no decision has been made to do this. Staffing will continue to be an issue for us. We may have to offer some sort of guaranteed hours to attract people. Commissioner Fiemann asked what we pay lifeguards. Matt Jensen said it's $7.55 an hour, which is the same as McDonald's. High school kids are turning down $10 an hour jobs, because they can get $12 an hour elsewhere. Minnesota has the lowest unemployment rate in the country. Job opportunities are good here. We have challenges ahead in providing staff at the new fieldhouse and activity center, said Mary. Musliner commented on the program Kids Games and how much her child enjoyed it. 4. PAST COUNCIL ACTION The Council approved the fieldhouse rates at $210 per hour for primetime and $180 per hour for non primetime. PRAC Minutes/July 8, 1999 Page 28 '? 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Comprehensive Plan Study Session - Barry Warner. Revised drafts of the vision statements and issues and needs were distributed. Barry said that these provide the framework for future decision making. There are eight specific vision statements. Director Blank explained who was involved in developing these statements. Musliner asked about # 10 under the issues and needs list. Barry explained that the Metropolitan Council's comprehensive plan guidelines suggest that they make comments on whether an individual city's comprehensive plan is going to have an impact on regional systems. Hennepin Parks is our regional provider. Director Blank asked PRAC to look at this document and determine if the general resident would understand it. Fiemann suggested that item #10 under issues and needs should be changed to say "assess impact on regional park and recreation facilities." Under the Goals and Policies list, it was recommended that the words pedestrians and bicycles be omitted from item 2c and make it "non -motorized users," so that it covers in-line skaters, as well. Musliner asked for a clarification on traffic volumes under item 2d. Director Blank explained that this refers to roadways with 20,000 cars or more per day. There was a suggestion that item 2e be changed to say designated trails. Chair Anderson asked about item 2f - functional hierarchy. Director Blank explained that winter trail maintenance will be brought to PRAC in November for an official policy. He further said there is a guideline for the construction of trails. We either put them immediately behind the curb, because they can be maintained by a wing plow, or we put them 8 to 10 feet behind. This way the snow can be dumped behind the trail. Musliner asked about item 3a. Director Blank said that LifeTime is an example of this, as well as Four Downs Skate Park. Director Blank said where appropriate we will look for partnerships to provide recreation opportunities. Fiemann felt that we don't address cost effective or well used in the main sentence of item 3. The statements that follow do not seem to address the well used issue. Mary said the words "well used" are appropriate. The issue is how do you frame a supporting statement to go with it? Barry suggested that it should read "monitor recreation trends and user patterns and respond with appropriate programs and facilities." It was then suggested to change the main statement to read "recreation programs and facilities." Thompson recommended adding "when appropriate" to the beginning of item 3a and to also add "new" to recreational facilities. Barry said the steering committee will get these comments and can work some more with this draft, prior to the next meeting. Adam reviewed the open space and natural resources inventory. He discussed the bulleted items on pg. 3-2 and stated that the City of Plymouth has ordinances in place that protect its wetlands. Page 3-3 explains what a good open space plan covers: diversity, proximity, connectivity, and quality. Management practices of open space were also discussed. There are several ways to manage open space: preservation, protection, enhancement (needing augmentation), and restoration. He explained that Plymouth has taken steps to protect its natural resources but is somewhat lacking in its protection of trees. There are two main methods for protecting natural resources: acquisition, which is buying the land in order to gain control of the use of a particular parcel, or legislation, which is passing ordinances that protect natural resources on PRAC Minutes/July 8, 1999 -, Page 29 privately owned land. This method can cause some opposition as private landowners could view this as infringing on their rights. Director Blank stated that Councilmember Bildsoe wants PRAC to consider another referendum for purchasing open space. The city's former comprehensive plan did not have a chapter on open space, and this is why we are putting it in this comprehensive plan update, stated Director Blank. In the citizens survey going out in the next few weeks, questions on open space have been included. Hopefully data from the survey will be available before this comprehensive plan process is completed. There was discussion then on the possibility of establishing a greenway in Plymouth. Barry explained that there is a wetland complex that is very significant in northwest Plymouth. One way to construct the greenway is to have it interconnect with Maple Grove, following the west side of the wetland complex and then tying into the trail system. Another way would be to do a loop connecting with the regional park trail system. A third variation is to go around the wetland only and cross over on a boardwalk. The Commission liked all of these scenarios and wanted staff to look into them further. The final item for discussion was golf courses. Plymouth has three 18 -hole golf courses within its boundaries: Elm Creek, Hampton Hills, and Hollydale. The City should strive to preserve a public golf facility within Plymouth because of its open space value, the quality of life it provides and because it's a desired activity in a community with diverse needs. The four private golf courses in Plymouth represent approximately 400 acres of open space. If the City ever pursues the purchase of a golf course (should the private ones become residential developments), a golf feasibility study would have to be done. Based on information provided by SRF, Plymouth falls slightly, short in the number of 18 -hole golf courses needed to satisfy the current population, if you consider only those courses actually located in Plymouth. However, if you consider courses located outside Plymouth, but within a driving distance of 20-25 miles, which is considered the Plymouth golf use area, then we have no shortage. SRF's report on golf courses recommends that Plymouth continue to monitor the development of golf course facilities at Begin Oaks and Eagle Lake, establish Plymouth residents' participation in golf through surveys and trend analysis, ensure that a minimum of one 18 -hole course remains accessible within city limits, pursue opportunities to purchase an existing course if it is threatened by development, and monitor the development status of each course within the City of Plymouth. b. Plymouth Creek Center update. Director Blank did not report on this item. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Ferndale North issue. At the August meeting, there may be a large audience in attendance to discuss the Ferndale North park. This may take up much of the evening. Director Blank pointed out the location of the Ferndale North area on a map. This was a Lundgren Bros. plat in 1976, and at the time it was platted, one of the conditions was that Outlot A would be deeded to the City as natural open space and not a neighborhood park. Director Blank said he told the residents that this issue could be presented to the Park Commission if it could be proven that there was significant neighborhood demand PRAC Minutes/July 8, 1999 12 Page 30�" for it. A petition was circulated among the residents, and 77% of those polled said they want a playground. This parcel is in the comprehensive plan as open space. Commissioners wanted to know the proper way to handle this issue. Director Blank said it will entail an amendment to the comprehensive plan. Director Blank said the game plan is the residents will come to the August 12 PRAC meeting. PRAC will get a full report on the issue with video tapes, slides, etc. It will be a discussion item. Director Blank said that only the owner of a piece of property can request an amendment to the comprehensive plan, and the City is the owner in this case. Director Blank said that PRAC's options are to table it for further study or to make a recommendation that the comprehensive plan be changed, or not be changed. Then it will go to the Planning Commisson. If they initiate a change, they will have to hold a public hearing on it. If the Planning Commission says no, then it goes to the Council. If they say yes, then the Planning Commission has to hold a public hearing. This could, at a minimum, take four or five meetings. Then funding would have to be planned for in a future CIP, if it's approved for park. For playground use, these folks now have to go to Oakwood, Queensland, or go into Wayzata. There is no access to this site except via trail. 7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION None. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATION Luce Line trail construction will begin next week from Vicksburg east to West Medicine Lake Drive. The Highway 55 bridge is under construction. This should be wrapped up by October. The Xenium trail around the railroad tracks is missing a segment. Barry said SRF is committed to having a draft report ready by sometime in August, dictating that a second meeting be held in July. Some possible dates were discussed, and the 28th was tentatively selected. Commissioner Thompson cannot come to that meeting. The last chance to look at the comprehensive plan will be September 9, before it goes to the Planning Commission. There wouldn't be a need for a second meeting in August then. The next PRAC meetings are as follows: July 28, August 12, September 9. Willegalle asked about a piece of property on 10' and Kingsview. Director Blank said the City bought it and it's now park property and will be a water quality pond for Parkers Lake. 9.

Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. 5 Consent Agenda A SCI -MED — PTC. (99049) MOTION by Commissioner Ribbe, seconded by Commissioner Reinhardt recommending approval of a Site Plan Amendment for SciMed — PTC located at 5905 Nathan Lane North. Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. 6 Public Hearings A LANDFORM ENGINEERING COMPANY (99057) Chairman Stulberg introduced the request by Landform Engineering Company for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment for Pike Lake Woods 2"d and 3`d Additions located north of Bass Lake Road and east of Hemlock Lane. Planner Lindahl gave an overview of the July 22, 1999 staff report. Planner Lindahl presented revised calculations, ordinance and resolution for the Commission to consider. Chairman Stulberg commented that the application was originally approved by the Planning Commission and City Council and the developer started the project based on the approval, and then a mistake was discovered. Planner Lindahl concurred. I Commissioner Reinhardt asked if there are any new procedures in place to prevent this type of error from happening or at least to catch it sooner. Planner Lindahl stated that a change was made in the procedures and now building permit applications are reviewed Draft Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 1999 t' Page #119 by planning staff first. Director Hurlburt stated that no matter what reviews are put in place, staff still has to rely on the certified engineers that prepare the plans. She stated that there isn't a sure way to guarantee that this won't happen again. Chairman Stulberg commented that the applicant did state that it was their error at the previous meeting. Commissioner Stein asked if the holding pond is a requirement of the PUD. Planner Lindahl explained that all new developments with over one acre of disturbed area are required to have a NURP pond, regardless of whether it is a PUD or not. Commissioner Stein asked if all new developments are required to maintain pre - development runoff rates. City Engineer Faulkner stated that it is not required, but it is encouraged. Commissioner Stein asked if there is a way to quantify how much impervious surface equals 20 percent of the landscaped area that will be left natural. Director Hurlburt replied that it is too difficult to calculate how much pollutants would be removed by leaving the landscaping natural versus a chemically treated lawn. Commissioner Reinhardt asked what was originally planned for the area that is now proposed to be left natural. Planner Lindahl replied that the applicant could better answer that since the natural area was not discussed as part of the original PUD approval. Commissioner Ribbe asked if overall, staff believes that the developer is doing more than what is required of them. Planner Lindahl replied that the application meets the intent of the zoning ordinance. She stated that the ponds were oversized to accommodate all runoff and that the applicant is proposing natural areas as a way to mitigate for the increased impervious surface area coverage, which is not required by the zoning ordinance. Chairman Stulberg introduced Steve Johnston, the applicant. Mr. Johnston stated that they misinterpreted the zoning ordinance. He presented the original calculations which included only the building and driveway areas, and stated that they neglected to add in the porch and sidewalk areas because of their misinterpretation of the zoning ordinance. Mr. Johnston stated that they are willing to put their new calculations into the homeowners association documents to prohibit them from coming in at some point in the future to increase the size of their decks and/or porches. Mr. Johnston said that there are a number of purchase agreements; some units under construction; and others waiting to be built, and the project is on hold until this issue gets taken care of. Mr. Johnston stated that they are treating runoff from Bass Lake Road. The developer had to obtain easements from Hennepin Parks, and Hennepin Parks Draft Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 1999 Page # 120 required them to provide treatment of runoff coming from Bass Lake Road. Mr. Johnston said that the developer is increasing the landscaping to provide a quality project. Chairman Stulberg introduced Tom Belting, the developer. Mr. Belting stated that obviously a mistake was made, and he is doing everything that he can to make it a quality project. Commissioner Reinhardt asked the applicant if the natural areas were intended to be part of the original PUD or if they came up with that after the calculation mistake was discovered. Mr. Johnston stated that the natural areas were intended all along. MOTION by Commissioner Reinhardt; seconded by Commissioner Ribbe recommending approval of a PUD Amendment for Landform Engineering Company to increase the maximum impervious surface area coverage for the Pike Lake Woods PUD; an Ordinance amending Chapter 21 of the City Code to amend Section 21655.13 for the Pike Lake Woods PUD; and Findings of Fact for amending the Zoning Ordinance text for the Pike Lake Woods PUD located north of Bass Lake Road and East of Hemlock Lane North. Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION carried unanimously. Commissioner Ribbe stated that he would not be able to attend the August 11, 1999 Planning Commission Meeting. Director Hurlburt informed the Commission of the tentative dates for upcoming joint City Council/Planning Commission meetings (September 29, October 26) and an Open house on November 15`x' for the Draft Plan. MOTION by Commissioner Reinhardt, seconded by Commissioner Berkowitz to adjourn. Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously.

Last year, we enjoyed the Plymouth on Parade event. However, I wanted to express my concern about the "go cart"/racing cars that were included in the parade. While I assume the drivers are very experienced, I thought their exhibition was quite dangerous in such an open area. Many children were lined up along the side of the street, including my husband and I, along with out 6 month old. I decided to step up on the hill in case there was an accident with the go carts. Again, I don't want to be a "party pooper", but I feel compelled to raise this issue and request that more safety precautions be taken into consideration if the go carts will be there at this year's event. We're very happy in Plymouth and I commend yours and your team's work in making Plymouth such a good place to live. Kindly let me know if you or someone or your staff received this message. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Please know that we want those in attendance at this event to view appropriate parade units and feel safe while enjoying the experience. At this time we are not planning on having the Cobra Corps participate in the 1999 parade. If, for any reason this changes, and a business chooses to sponsor this group, the Cobra Corps leadership will be informed of safety concerns and asked to participate under strict control. 1 will keep you informed of the potential for participation of this group in this year's event and the conditions and guidelines that they must follow. Thank you again for being a responsible city resident and please feel free to contact me with any other thoughts you have on Plymouth special events. Karol Greupner, Recreation Supervisor (509-5223) CITY OF PLYMOUTH+ August 4, 1999 Plymouth Historical Society 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Board Members: Human Rights Commissioner Becky Wheeler attended your July meeting where the Board indicated that the Historical Society is not interested in participating in the project proposed by the Human Rights Commission to collect histories, artifacts, pictures, and stories about past and present life in Plymouth. I'm sorry that there was a misunderstanding about the co-sponsorship of this project. Based on a conversation with your President, we had understood that the Historical Society had agreed to be a co-sponsor in the project. The Plymouth Human Rights Commission's only intent in involving the Historical Society in this program was as a service to help you collect more history about the community. We believe that this will be invaluable as Plymouth ages and changes. Our interest is to capture the diverse faces that make up Plymouth, to allow an opportunity for each resident to "tell their personal story," and to promote the appreciation of the importance of diversity in a strong community. I wanted to write this letter to apologize for the misunderstanding and to assure you that the co- sponsorship by the Plymouth Historical Society will be removed from all future publicity or literature about this project. Sincerely, Ruth Ruffin, Preside Plymouth Human Rights Commission cc: Dr. Jim Garvey, President Plymouth Historical Society 4088 Quantico Lane North Plymouth, MN 55446 PLYMOUTH A Beautiful Place To Live 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD - PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 - TELEPHONE (612) 509-5000 SLE .. :........

As you know, Media One is upgrading the cable system with fiber-optic transmission lines. During this process, we may experience periods of service interruption on Channel 37 and the rest of the channel line-up as well. Part of the upgrade includes breaking the home subscriber network into 250 -home "nodes" or clusters served by one feeder rine. It is possible that a node could be rewired with the wrong city's billboarding signal. We have experienced this in Crystal already. It is an easy fix, but we have to know a caller's exact address in order to track down the problem. If you receive calls about this type of problem, either get the information and pass it to me, or feel free to give the caller our number and have them ask for me. Because of the work being done on the system, it is a good idea to check your signal on a daily basis, and especially early on the day of any rive meetings. if all of the cable channels are out, then it is probably a temporary problem due to upgrade construction. If only channel 37 seems to be malfunctioning, then it could be a different problem. Please notify me if all your channels are out for what seems to be an excessive length of time (4 hours or more) and right away, if it appears to be a problem with just 37. Channel changes are in the works. Channel 37 will become channel 16 on our system. The changeover will be gradual and scattered over the system at different times over the next year or so. Changes will start as early as mid-August and could happen at different times at different locations within a given city. This should make life frustrating and confusing for our viewers. I recommend that any reference on your billboarding, website or printed matter include both channels, perhaps as Channel 37/16. A copy of the new channel line-up is attached. Lastly, Media One has centralized their Customer Service telephone operation to facilities in St. Paul. Customers in all of Media One's systems now call the same number for assistance. That number is 651-222-3333. If you have a page in your billboarding sequence, or anywhere else, that lists the old number, you might want to change it. The "You are Listening to DMX...' page is most likely where it occurs. There have been reports that the on -hold wait at Customer Service is sometimes 30-45+ minutes. Apparently they are somewhat short-staffed and have just made the channel changeovers and rate changes in the Roseville system, which has the telephone lines clogged up with calls. So, my best advice is call me directly if there is a problem with the City Network or your service at City Hall. If you have any technical questions, please give me a call. Also, you can call or refer callers to Greg Moore with questions regarding cable service issues or Media One.

Because of funding limitations, Magnolia Lane was removed from the program. When Magnolia Lane was removed, it was stated that it would be reconsidered when other streets to the west are reconstructed, such as Pineview Lane. As a result of a delay in the design with the part of the program that was approved in the area of Deerwood Lane and 3rd Avenue, construction will not get underway until the spring of 2000. Since construction has been delayed, there would be an opportunity to again include Magnolia Lane as part of the program with funding coming from that allocated for 2000. During our previous information meeting and public hearing process, we heard from very few of the property owners along Magnolia Lane. We did hear from two property owners north of Sunset Trail that were in favor of the street reconstruction proposed for Magnolia Lane. The street reconstruction involves reconstructing the street, adding concrete curb and gutter, and a storm sewer system. The adjacent properties would be assessed for these improvements. At this time there is no schedule for the reconstruction of Magnolia Lane. If property owners are interested in having it added and constructed with the program already approved, we need to receive petitions or letters from property owners stating they are in favor of the project and would like it to proceed in 2000. The reconstruction of Magnolia Lane could be divided into two segments, that portion north of Sunset Trail and that portion south of Sunset Trail and only one undertaken. If you are interested in advancing the project, please contact either Ron Quanbeck (509-5525) or myself (509-5501) and we can furnish you with a petition that you and your neighbors could sign and submit to the City. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. We would need to receive the petition by' October 1 in order to consider reconstruction next year. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E.

The City Council ordered a sanitary sewer project (Project No. 7018) to serve this property on October 15, 1997. After that date, the City had one year to proceed with the project. Although the City worked on the design on the project, the City has taken no action to construct the project. Therefore, the initial ordering of the project by the City Council has expired. The property at 1550 Troy Lane and other properties in the area no longer can be assessed for this project without a new public hearing and a new order by the City Council. Accordingly, earlier this year, the City removed the pending assessment on the property. At this time, it is uncertain whether or not any new project will be initiated by either the City or property owners in the area. If a new hearing is held and a new project is ordered, staff will recommend to the City Council that the property at 1550 Troy Lane, which has a relatively new septic tank system, not be assessed for the costs. Rather, the staff would recommend that a written agreement be entered into with the owner of 1550 Troy Lane specifying that the owners would need to pay a connection charge to the City at such time as the property is hooked up to the sewer. The connection charge would be based upon the cost which would have been assessed plus 5% interest per year. If the septic tank on the property fails tests conducted by the City from time to time and is not performing its function as designed, the City will require hook up to the sanitary sewer at that time and payment of the connection charge. We believe that this recommendation would adequately protect the City's interests as well as provide a fair solution for the property owner of 1550 Troy Lane, which is not likely to actually need the sanitary sewer for a number of years. The City Council would need to approve this recommendation when and if any sewer is extended to the area, and staff cannot represent what action a future Council might decide to take. I hope this provides some clarification to the matter, and please feel free to call me if you have any questions at 509-5051. Sincerely, Dwight D.

P:\pw\Enginecring\GENERAL\MEMOS\FRED\1999XWaterPlantTow.doc STAFF REPORT DATE: August 5, 1999 TO: Dwight D. Johnson, City Manager — FROM: Craig C. Gerdes, Director of Public Safety SUBJECT: COMPLIANCE CHECKS The police department has completed the first round of compliance checks for both alcohol and tobacco within the City. Here are the results of the checks. In alcohol establishments, 48 license holders were checked. Four license holders were not checked. Sienna Restaurant will still be checked, they were not on our early license holder list being a newer establishment. The three remaining license holders are the VFW, the West Medicine Lake Community Club, and The Reserve. These places are difficult to check as they do not hold general "open" hours but are only open for specific scheduled events. Of the 48 establishments checked, 18 failed and clerks are presently being charged with the offenses by the City Attorney's office. This would be a 38% failure rate. The following is the list of establishments that failed the check. • Baku Restaurant/1115 Vicksburg Lane • Broadway Station/4190 Vinewood Lane (2"d violation) • Cellars Wines & Spirits/16605 Co Rd 24 • Cub Foods/4455 Nathan Lane • Elm Creek Golf/18940 Hwy 55 • Hampton Hills Golf/5313 Juneau Lane • Hollydale Golf/4710 Holly Lane • Joy Luck Wok/10100 6th Avenue • Marcello's Pizza/4112 Lancaster Lane • Mulligan's/3005 Harbor Lane • Paradise Liquors/12 Nathan Lane • Pizza Hut/14.15 Hwy 101 • Rainbow Foods/10200 6'h Avenue (2"d violation) • Rainbow Foods/16705 Co Rd 24 • Sid's Discount Liquors/10200 a Avenue (2nd violation) • Speedway SuperAmerica/5750 Nathan Lane • Tea House/88 Nathan Lane Vintage Market Fine Wine & Spirits/4130 Berkshire Lane In 1998, alcohol establishment checks had a 22 % failure rate. In tobacco establishments, 50 license holders were checked. Two license holders are within private companies (Olympic Steel and the Prudential Building) where sales are only to employees that are over 21. We did not gain access to these two buildings. Of the 50 license holders checked, 14 failed and sold to the checker. These clerks are also being charged by the City Attorney's office. This would be a 28% failure rate. The following is the list of establishments that failed the check. • 101 Liquors/4130 Highway 101 • 4 Seasons Liquor/4232 Lancaster Lane • Cub Foods/4445 Nathan • Freedom Valu Center/12650 Co Rd 10 • Holiday Station/2725 Campus Drive • Holiday Station/9705 Schmidt Lake Road (2"d violation) Hollydale Golf/4710 Holly Lane • Paradise Tobacco/16605 Co Rd 24 • Plymouth Superette/17405 Co Rd 6 • Rainbow Foods/16705 Co Rd 24 • Smokies #2/17405 Co Rd 6 • Snyder Drug/1425 Hwy 101 • Speedway SuperAmerica/5750 Nathan Lane • Walgreen's/4005 Vinewood Lane In 1998, tobacco establishments had a 34% failure rate. Members of the City Council have received a number of inquiries regarding the Hollydale Golf Course checks. A tobacco compliance check was conducted at Hollydale on Tuesday, July 27`x. A 17 -year old male checker with a DOB of 10/20/81 was used. The employee did ask for identification, but the officer noted he only briefly looked at the driver's license and then sold the cigarettes to the checker. On Thursday, July 29' an alcohol compliance check was conducted at Hollydale. At that time a 20 -year old male check with a DOB of 11/23/78 was used. The checker ordered a beer and was served. No identification was requested. After failing both checks, we understand a paper was posted inside the establishment requesting their patrons contact the City Council on their behalf stating they were set up by the police department and objecting to this check.
